Seized fishermen in good health

All ten crew members from the fishing boat PY 90260 TS which was seized
by Brunei authorities on May 21 were in good health, according to the
Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA).

The
MoFA sent a diplomatic note to the Embassy of Brunei in Vietnam and
instructed officials at the Vietnamese Embassy in Brunei to work with
relevant agencies in the country to verify the information and learn all
the facts of the situation. The Ministry has asked Brunei to quickly
release the boat owned by Do Van Phung and its crew.

Vietnamese embassy officials in Brunei have visited the fishermen and
will continue to monitor the situation and provide support to protect
the fishermen's legitimate rights and interests. /.
